LREC WORKSHOP
DATA ARCHITECTURES AND SOFTWARE SUPPORT FOR LARGE CORPORA
May 30, 2000
ATHENS, GREECE
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide/anc/lrec.html
******************************************************************
SUBMISSION DEADLINE : MARCH 7, 2000
Several software systems for linguistic annotation, search,
and retrieval of large corpora have been developed within the
natural language processing community over the past several
years, including LT-XML (Edinburgh), GATE (Sheffield), IMS
Corpus Workbench (Stuttgart), Alembic Workbench (Mitre), MATE
(Edinburgh/Odense/Stuttgart), Silfide (Loria/CNRS), SARA
(BNC), and several others. Related to and in support of this
development, there have also been efforts to develop standards
for encoding and various kinds of linguistic annotation, as
well as data architectures (e.g., TIPSTER, TalkBank)
etc. Still other developments, such as the introduction of XML
and the powerful XSL transformation language and work on
semi-structured data (e.g., the work of the Lore group at
Stanford), have also impacted the ways in which corpora and
other linguistic resources can be represented, stored, and
accessed.
Approaches to the fundamental design of the formats, data, and
tools are varied among current systems for the annotation and
exploitation of linguistic corpora. A primary reason for this
diversity is that most developers are concerned with only one
aspect of the creation/annotation/exploitation
process. However, in order to work effectively toward
commonality, the phases of the process must be considered as a
whole. This demands bringing together researchers and
developers from a variety of domains in text, speech, video,
etc., many of whom have previously had little or no contact.
This workshop is intended to bring these groups together to
look broadly at the technical issues that bear on the
development of software systems for the annotation and
exploitation of linguistic resources. The goal is to lay the
groundwork for the definition of a data and system
architecture to support corpus annotation and exploitation
that can be widely adopted within the community. Among the
issues to be addressed are:
o layered data architectures
o system architectures for distributed databases
o support for plurality of annotation schemes
o impact and use of XML/XSL
o support for multimedia, including speech and video
o tools for creation, annotation, query and access of corpora
o mechanisms for linkage of annotation and primary data
o applicability of semi-structured data models, search and query
systems, etc.
o evaluation/validation of systems and annotations

"Issues in Musical Informatics"
"National Gallery of the Spoken Word"
"The Shakespeare Electronic Archive:
Text, Image and Film in Research and Teaching"
The Digital Library Research Group of the University of Maryland, College
Park,and the College of Library and Information Services present a program
of talks on multimedia information systems on March 3, 2000.
With the ability to digitally process significant amounts of multimedia,
multimedia digital libraries will be increasingly common. Although digital
scholarship in music, history, and literature have been widely separated in
the past, we believe there are many common themes. We hope this
interdisciplinary forum will highlight the possible synergies.

9:30 AM Issues in Musical Informatics
Eleanor Selfridge-Field, Stanford University
McKeldin Library, Room 4137
Musical codes can be used to support several application domains. Among
them sound, notation, and analysis are the most common and the ones on
which we concentrate. While the information sets needed in all three
domains have some common features, each has unique attributes as well.

11:00 AM National Gallery of the Spoken Word
Mark L. Kornbluth, Michigan State University
Hornbake 0115
The National Gallery of the Spoken Word (NGSW) will create a significant,
fully searchable, online database of spoken word collections that span the
20th century -- the first large-scale repository of its kind. NGSW will
provide storage for these digital holdings and public exhibit "space" for
the most evocative collections. >From Thomas Edison's first cylinder
recordings, to the voices of Babe Ruth and Florence Nightingale, and Studs
Terkel's timeless interviews, the collections of the NGSW will cover a
variety of interests and topics. The NGSW is designed as an expansive
repository of aural resources. Over time, it will grow to include many more
collections from partnering institutions around the country.

2:00 PM The Shakespeare Electronic Archive:
Text, Image and Film in Research and Teaching
Peter Donaldson, MIT
McKeldin Library, Room 4137
The Shakespeare Electronic Archive is now working at the Folger and
Shakespeare Institute. I will demonstrate its use and discuss plans for
broader-than- Shakespeare film-text archive. Mr. Donaldson will also
discuss the Archive's plan to create distance collaboration tools to make
the archives useful at all levels.
